Workers' Compensation

Workers’ Compensation is a state-mandated program that provides benefits to employees who are injured or develop an illness as a result of their job. Benefits may include medical care, temporary disability, permanent disability, job displacement voucher and death benefits.

The University of California is self-insured for Workers' Compensation benefits. Disability Management coordinates this program for the Berkeley campus. Administration of claims and benefits is handled by UC's third-party administrator: Sedgwick (P.O. Box 14533, Lexington, KY 40512-4533, 1-800-225-2998)
